Find relief from summer heat at our beaches near Cooperstown—and a popular Otsego County pool. Sunbathe and play on Otsego Lake's sandy shore at Glimmerglass State Park, less than a 10-minute drive from Cooperstown. Find quiet waters at the shady Fairy Springs Park, another Otsego Lake beach, or take a dip at Baker's Beach on Canadarago Lake. Lifeguards watch over both during summer months. For swimmers in Oneonta, the pool at Wilber Park offers a way to cool off and relax when the temperatures rise.
